My direct line rang not long after the list had been released to the press. The voice on phone was irate, screaming, cursing, accusing and threatening. It was not going to be an ordinary day at the office. Cut-down day never is in the NFL.
Communication in the NFL isn't always as tight as most might think. In this case, a player had been told by his position coach that he'd made the team. But a last-minute adjustment to the numbers at one position had forced adjustments and left an odd man out. Imagine the dismay of both the player and the position coach after The List hit the street.
